Large fishing operations are investing in automation and new digital technologies such as drones and artificial intelligence (AI), thereby further improving their efficiency and competitiveness compared to small-scale fisheries. AFRODITE LDA will develop PELADRONE solutions and services for small-scale fisheries in Portugal to collaborate with emerging drone, AI, and other digital technology from Norway in a user-driven innovation project guided by universities in Portugal and Sweden. This will be achieved through collaboration with BIRDVIEW AS and OCEAN TECH HUB LDA.
